New York City and others...
Next week we'll spend some days in New York city, then in Washington DC and finally in Palm Beach, FL. I want to know if anyone knows diecast businesses in the area of each city.
As I walk with my family, I do not want to waste time looking for them and it would be good to know some addresses where I can go there directly.
Thank you very much everyone for any help you can give me.

Claudio I live in the Queens, a "suburb" of NYC
I'm about 25-30 mins from Manhattan (BY CAR at night/no traffic). I don't know of any die-cast stores as I do all my diecast purchases online, D4C, Ebay, or through DM and an occasional online retailer. That said while I can't help you, welcome to N.Y. and have a pleasant stay here!

New York
I remember an old second hand store near the Soho, the Toy'R US back the Empire State and a plastic hobby shop around the 42 and Brodway Av. Nothing new ?

TRU is now in Times Square! The Hobby Shop was near but since I have not been there recently I'm not sure about the Hobby Store anymore.
